The Moccasin Goalie

ebook

1 of 1 copy available

Danny and his friends, Anita, Petou and Marcel, are typical youngsters—hockey mad.

Danny's disability means that he can't wear skates, but his leather moccasins work just fine and earn him the name "Moccasin Danny." When a town team is formed, the friends are overjoyed, but only Marcel is picked for the team. Will Danny get the chance to prove that even though he can't wear a pair of skates, he can still play the game?

Originally released over a decade ago, The Moccasin Goalie is the first of three books in a well-loved series that includes The Final Game and Victory at Paradise Hill.

      K-Gr 3-Danny loves to play hockey with his friends in their small Canadian town. Though he can't skate because of a "crippled leg and foot," he plays goalie in his leather moccasins. When a town team is formed, he is cut because he can't skate. Very disappointed, his spirits are revived when weeks later the coach asks him to replace the team's injured goalie in the biggest game of the year. Danny steps in, plays well, and is invited to stay on the squad for the playoffs. While the large, lavishly colored paintings adequately sustain the mood of the story, the text leaves much to be desired. Told in the first person, it often reads in a staccato manner. Except for regional interest, "ice" any thoughts of purchasing this one.-Tom S. Hurlburt, La Crosse Public Library, WI
